SACD

Congrats if your system is revealing you should notice a big improvement. Pure SACD recordings are best, but a lot of music is hybrid, meaning the music is available on those discs in multiple layers. The deeper layers MAY not play back as clearly as one would like

A major pitfall with SACDs since they can be so much more revealing with much deeper noise floors is the rest of the system.


Last night I played Moody Blues, Blood Sweat and Tears and Elton John Madman Across the Water (I have Gaucho but it's DVD-A). Lots more to play before going back to red book


My system is simple; Oppo 105 with DIY eBay aftermarket Linear Power Module, Rhodium IEC with heavy gauge pure silver wire to the LPM (these are well known weaknesses in the 105)and 2 days ago I removed the cover, WireWorld Series 8 XLRs straight into my RIc Schultz EVS 1200 (dual mono 600/1200 wpc class D with lots of tweaks to the surrounding parts


To get the full experience, I cranked my volume to a point where I quickly learned my speakers are now my weakest link
